Trustee

Salary: Voluntary

Plymouth Arts Cinema is looking to appoint several new Trustees to expand the diversity and range of skills and experience on their Board, currently comprised of four Trustees.

About Plymouth Arts Cinema

Plymouth Arts Cinema (PAC) is a not-for-profit charitable organisation, the only independent cinema in the city, with a much needed and a much-loved cultural programme. We have been uniquely providing independent cinema in Plymouth for almost 50 years. Open five days a week, we specialise in independent, foreign language and British films.

About the role

We are hoping to recruit two to three people who are passionate about PAC’s vision and who can bring knowledge, skills and experience in one or more of these areas:

• Legal and Charity Law
• Marketing
• Philanthropy
• Private sector business
• Environmental sustainability

This is not an exhaustive list, so if you don’t fit into it, but you believe you can make a positive contribution to PAC’s governance then do please get in touch.

We want our Trustees to offer a broad range of viewpoints and experience; some will already have worked with Boards (either as a Trustee or as an Executive), and some may be joining a board for the first time.

PAC believes in the widest sense of diversity, and we want our Board of Trustees to reflect that. We are therefore keen to receive applications from potential trustees across the spectrum of age, disability, socio-economic background, and racial identity.

If you’d like an informal & confidential chat about this role, please do contact Executive Director and Film Programmer Anna Navas, by emailing anna@plymouthartscinema.org with “Trustee Application” in the subject line.

Time commitment: Approx. one day per month
Term: 12 months minimum

2) Send your expression of interest to manon@plymouthartscinema.org by Tuesday 25 June 2024 midday. This can be a letter of no more than two pages or an audio or video file of no more than five minutes.

3) Complete the online equal opportunities monitoring form by Tuesday 25 June. This form is anonymous, will not be shared with the shortlisting panel and will only ever be reported in summary form. The link can be found in the Trustee Application Pack and on our website.

If your current commitments mean that you would not be immediately available to join the Board, please don’t let that put you off getting in touch, as we recognise the importance of taking time to build a dynamic and diverse governance function.
